Woolton Air Cadets

The Air Cadet Organisation provides young people from the ages of 13 to 19 with the opportunity to develop many skills such as leadership, team-working and communication and to experience a wide variety of activities and opportunities, from flying powered aircraft to abseiling and camping.  You will find many of these activities here on this website – please feel free to explore and find out more.

2359 (Woolton) Squadron’s motto is “Success Through Endeavour”. This sums up everything we are about – our emphasis is on endeavour – in all our members doing their very best efforts, no matter what their background or ability, and achieving as a result. This really shows in our many, many achievements over the last few years. In 2009, we became Merseyside Wing First Aid champions, and came 3rd in the Banner Drill competition, 3rd in the Aeromodelling and 3rd in the Drill Competition.

The Air Cadet Organisation is affiliated to the Royal Air Force (RAF), so all our cadets get the chance to take the controls of aircraft, to experience the life of the RAF, by visiting military bases throughout the UK and abroad and, as you will see, we wear the uniform of the RAF with pride. A very large percentage of serving members of the RAF were air cadets, so if you are looking for a Service career, membership of the Air Cadets will help give you a head start. Research has shown that ex-cadets do better in basic training and stay in the Service longer than their colleagues without the benefit of cadet membership.

I hope you will find our website useful and interesting, whether you are a visitor, a potential recruit or a current member of the squadron. If you would like further information about us that you don’t find here, or are interested in joining us, please visit our contact information page.
